Spectrum is green

Killian Heilsberg, program director, says, “VSI’s interface is so intuitive and easy to use that new students can pick it up and be building custom video ads in the first hour.”

Located in the heart of downtown Chicago, Tribeca Flashpoint Academy (a venture with Robert De Niro’s Tribeca Enterprises) is one of the industry’s most well-known and respected digital media arts schools. It provides intensive, hands-on, direct-to-industry degree programs that propel graduates into the business.

Often described as part college, part industry apprenticeship, TFA offers a progressive training model through which students begin using state-of-the art equipment and software and working on real-world industry projects beginning their first semester on campus. They graduate in 15 months with robust resumes and the insider industry know-how they need to step seamlessly into their careers in the digital media arts.

Visible Spectrum provides a web-based cloud platform for creating custom, professional quality, HD video for any digital platform – Internet, TV, DOOH or mobile platforms. Featuring real time previewing and seamless integration with a cloud of nearly 40 million stock images, audio and video clips, anyone with general computer skill can create custom videos in minutes.

Anyone with an Internet connection can try VSI’s tool on the company’s web site at no charge. You pay nothing unless you want to take delivery of your finished composition – allowing free ‘trial and error’ learning. VSI provides direct upload to YouTube and Brightcove; and, direct file download or delivery via an FTP site.

Educational licenses allow institutions like TFA to use VSI at no cost to the student. Powerful B-2-B features are available to White Label and Enterprise Licensees, including the ability to store client-owned assets securely in VSI’s cloud; unlimited use of the automation function; and the ability to upload and use third party motion graphic projects as VSI templates. White Label Licensees can provide VSI’s functionality on their own Web site, wrapped in their own branding; and, via API, deliver video files directly into their Content Management Software.
